    Dang. Among pretty much everyone I know I get weird looks when I start discussing arcane NBA trivia. (I suspect most here are the same way.) And I had no fucking clue who 2/3 of those guys are.

    I just now asked my wife that. She says "it tastes funny." So there you go. I thought I made a pretty damned good cup of British Breakfast for her, and all along I find out she was faking it. At least the times I've re-heated.

    :(

    Nine years of a lie-filled marriage to my English wife. Exploded by this message board.

    Oh well. At least she still likes the sex.

    She says "it tastes funny".

    On the tea, I think we must be talking about the container here, rather than the water per se. Water itself doesn't change when it is boiled and cooled back down and reboiled. But impurities from the pot might be concentrated by that process.

    Or it's just folklore. Give her a blind taste test and see if she can pick out which cup was made with reboiled water. Repeat the test 100 times for statistical validation. Then make a powerpoint a la Ed O and post it here.

    I don't profess to know everything about those guys, but they have been on NBA rosters the past few years as 12th through 15th men. However, not exactly players you would talk about with other casual fans about the NBA.

    Wait... they're Adidas shirts? I would have NEVER guessed, based on the insanely annoying logo placement.

    Actually I do it all the time. (Good thing these message boards are anonymous.) But it's supposed to have less oxygen in it. Or something like that. Let me check. Ah yes:

    So the key to great tea is to get an aerator for your tea water?

    That kind of sounds like horseshit to me. Water tastes better if it has air in it? Really?

    Yes. It's the same for coffee.

    First, always use cold water.

    Second, pour it back and forth between two containers a few times.

    The difference is negligable if you're using cheap product or poorly maintained equipment. If you're using quality leaves, your tea pot is clean and you studiously steep your pot, it makes a significant difference (unless you drown it with milk).
